My top 3:
Throgg the Troll King
Throgg the Troll King
Throgg the Troll King
Next on my list would be Queek Headtaker
I like characters that change up the army list/game/force org somehow.
Throgg armies are fun and awesome (all those trolls...) and Queek makes his unit of Stormvermin hit as hard as Chaos Warriors.

Yeah, that's why I hated when the 8th edition Empire army book got rid of putting a Warrior Priest in a unit of Fanatics and making them a core choice. That was crazy good (pun intended), but was a gamble at the same time since they died in droves. Super fun though! (I also miss the Arcane Banner for High Elves... )

Throgg is cool. I like Wulfrik as well because of his ambushing skills. On paper that is, I haven't tried it in game, need to paint more marauders first.

Was the White Dwarf? I haven't heard his story. And I thought Thorgrim was killed by an assassin in the 4th book? I don't know what happened to Settra. I thought Nagash "killed" him?

I run named characters whenever I can for my elves or dwarfs. Tyrion and Teclis are my favorites and I usually bring Korhil too. I finally got Eltharion recently (I used a conversion before) and when I run a dragon I pull out Imrik. For the Dwarfs I like to bring Belegar Ironhammer or Ungrim Ironfist. I also always bring Gotrek and Felix in my slayers just as proxies.I'm painting up Grombrindal being carried by Gotrek and Bugman atm and I can't wait to see that on the table.

I need to come back to it and re-base it since the base it came with doesn't rank up in a unit of Dwarfs. I also need to finish off a few details.

Throgg is the most under-costed special character in the game.
Belegar is pretty good for what it does.

Nope. The base is slightly too wide. I've used them as a Lord on Shieldbearers. I also have the Alric figure on Shieldbearers and using both of those in a game is some good fun! I usually make one killy and one tanky. It makes it really hard for your opponent to simply aviod or redirect one unit the entire game (which is usually what happens when they see a Dwarf Lord on Shieldbearers. Good stuff!

That's what I plan to do, I like those three more than Alrik (I like Alrik's model but it can't compete with Grombrindal, Bugman, and Gotrek).

I don't know if you can tell the difference, but the Alric model does rank up just fine.

even if you have the white dwarf on the correct base, looks like Gortrek's axe will be in the way...I guess there is exactly one spot in the unit where they'll fit.

Yeah, I suppose I could always cut his hand off and reattach it with the axe in the forward position. Okay, now I've got to dig this model out this weekend and do some cosmetic work on it... Both actually...

Both actually... Since the base is an off size I think I'll measure one out and make my own and angle Gotrek a bit to deal with the Axe.
